all we're talking about is rain. not as cold as it was yesterday, not nearly as cold and it is not raining here in olde city but will be soon. 46 degrees. sunrise time was official at 6:25. so 40's just about every where , we have 39 in allentown and reading. we have 50 degrees in dover, delaware. we 51 in lieu is as well. that is where we are at the moment. we will get in the 60's today. your trade off, bob kelly is a few rain drops here and there. >> we don't have to shovel rain, that is only good thing, live look at schuylkill expressway, eastbound dealing with this accident off to the shoulder. but look what is doing to the speedometers, knocking speed down as we go by. we are stacked and packed approaching conshohocken. accident itself is juste of the conshohocken curve as we head in toward downtown philadelphia this morning. another accident,e on 422,

right as awe approach king of prussia interchange and boulevard southbound, accident right here near seventh street a lot of u turns this morning. live look at route 70 where the accident on the overnight pulled down traffic signals and at west gate drive. there is no left turns permitted here in an area that sees a lot all morning, all day long. folks flipping that u turn laverne. lots of u turns in haddonfield and some delays out of the gaeton both airport and trenton regional rail lines. thomas, back over to you. time is 7:06. developing story we have been following, unlicensed cabdriver is in the hospital this morning after being piss top whipped and shot during an attempted robbery. it all happened while he was trying to get two men a ride. we will have that coming up in a moment. steve keeley is on that story but first lets go to this one. new castle police are searching for a man who attempted to kidnap and rob a woman at her apartment complex last month there were two

similar incidents in the area investigators believe same suspect is behind all three attempts. steve keeley is on this one this morning, steve. >> reporter: well, it was just 12 hours ago, 6:30 to 7:00 when cops were swarming this apartment complex that we can see in the day light. these buildings are all individual. there must be 20. they all have eight apartments one on the hill here. look at where this was, the corner building where this attack attempt occurred. eight apartments in here. you can see imagine this at night, you don't see any because it is all dark, wooded here, ravine over there. this guy must have pick this for this hidden back reasons, few witnesses, so, he pulls a gun on this third woman, just like did he in the first two as he is out in this parking lot attempting to walk to her apartment. he walks her into that door and then on the other side of the door is there stairs. they go to where ever her apartment is, and as they open up her apartment door, where he attacked the previous woman and sexually assaulting and

kidnapping them for over an hour, he hears a man's voice or sees a man because she lives with a man, a husband, boyfriend, roommate. police did not get specific. only thing they are specific about is they are almost sure this is same guy because he had a mask on, pulls a gun and he has what they call distinct accent. so he runs out the door, lets go to the video we shot when we first got here. fingerprint dust is on the door and you can see there is a metal handle, one of the things you see in the department stores that is 4 inches wide, he either pushed on that to open up the door or push on the grass to open up the door, one or both hand. if you didn't have gloves on they have got some prints because he had just left there and in one else had come and gone because they got here within second of the 911 call and then she shut down the streets. here's our area video police every where, yellow tape, every where. they are stopping everybody. not letting anybody leave or come in here. they are hoping to pin opinion guy in and or also hoping that the witness saw a guy running if he didn't get back to his

getaway car or speeding out of here with a better description of the car. we don't know whether they got any of this, fingerprints, descriptions, whatever. again, who knows whether they have this guy. but what they have right new is another witness and good thing is this witness may be best because she was lee traumatized. he didn't get a chance to sexually assault her or force her back in the car at gunpoint and go to atm and withdraw money like did he in other cases. similarities again that same hour right after sundown din are time 6:30 to 7:30. two of the three on monday, middle one on a sunday. we will get a good update from police later this morning if not noon time when they have had their big news conference last time. we will update you hopefully that witness holds the key. steve keeley, thank you. time right now 7:09. day care worker fired after catching her pushing a child down the stairs. woman claims that things are not what they seem. parents as you can imagine

they are concerned. >> of course, that worker is facing criminal charges this morning. surveillance video shows this worker her name is sarah gable , what appears to be pushing that four year-old down the stairs at child care of the future day care center in upper darby. as soon as she pushes a child, still looking up at camera right there, staff says that the camera had been put in a half an hour, before this incident. center's manager says the woman said she shouldn't be blamed for this little girls fall. >> she tried to blame it on her shoe. she picked up, and come to the stairs with her shoe. it is not her shoe. i just watched you do it. don't lie and say it was her shoe. >> that was very troubling news and very, very disheartening because these kid, they are so gentle. >> there is the suspect, already been fired from the day care and charged with simple assault and child endangerment. workers have added more cameras in that part of the stairs because children have

to go up and down all the time and they are typically playing in that area with you they never thought it would catch something like this and so soon, guys? camera doesn't lie. amazing though. worker. supposed to be protecting the children. >> just 30 minutes before. what are the odd. 7:11. republicans released their replacement plan for obama care they could begin passing it through congress tomorrow. >> they are sure to run into resistance from democrats and fellow republicans who believe it either goes too far or not far enough. doug luzader in washington this morning, can't win when it comes to this one. >> reporter: thomas and alex, good morning. this is replacement plan, that republicans just put out yesterday and real question for g.o.p. is whether this thing really strikes the right balance to get enough republicans on board. president trump returning to the white house from florida avenue touching off a new controversy was trump tower

bugged during the election? that was trump's a section on twitter and he blamed president obama. now reports that behind the scenes, fbi director james comey is pushing the justice department to deny the allegation which led to this response from the white house. >> if mr. comey has something he would like to say i'm sure we are all willing to hear it. >> reporter: president obama's spokesmen offered a carefully worded denial saying neither president on bam a or white house official ordered surveillance on any u.s. citizen. obama's former director of national intelligence went a step further there was no such wiretap activity, mounted against the president, the president-elect at the time or as a candidate or against his campaign. >> reporter: democrats on the sunday morning shows, secured trump. >> it shows this president does not know how to conduct himself. >> reporter: while it is in the clear what evidence trump may have republicans are promised to go look into the allegations as part of the investigation into russia's role in the election.

>> that inquiry is going to be thorough and we will follow the facts where ever they lead us. >> reporter: now back to obama care for a moment, this plan is going to be tough to get through congress, again, because some republicans are going to balk. conservative republicans will say that this still maintains an entitlement for health care , some more moderate republicans will be upset about cuts to medicaid spending for instance. but it does get rid of unpopular things about obama care, chief among them would be that individual mandate, the requirement that everyone, just gets insurance. on the other hand it also may make it more difficult for insurance company. we just don't know how all of these numbers are going to shake out but it will be a real battle on capitol hill, back to you guys. >> certainly will be, okay, thanks for that update doug we appreciate it. 7:13. an unlicensed cabdriver is in the hospital this morning

after being pistol whipped and shot during an attempted robbery. >> it happened while giving two men a ride in west philadelphia we will get out to lauren johnson live at police headquarters, lauren? >> reporter: good morning alex and thomas. we have an update from the police commissioner who says those two people were frustrate when they could not get money from that driver and that is what happened when they decided to attack him with the gun and then one of the back seats tried to shoot him but now here at police headquarters investigators hoping that businesses nearby will be the key to their investigation when they can get their hand on surveillance camera footage. black cadillac with delaware license plates that became a crime scene around 11:40, over in west philadelphia police secured that car for their investigation right near 52nd and chancellor, the five five-year old driver had been assaulted and shot after picking up two men one was in the front seat other in the back and then this happened. >> it looks like males get in the car to get a ride. they never announced where they were going or male pulls

a gun out and announced a robbery and starts whacking him in the head with gun. and, he struck our victim obviously. and, transfer him over to penn presbyterian and he is currently stabilized. we don't have a good description. just two black maleness their 20's. we are looking for video to help us through the course of the investigation and hopefully we will find some assistance and then just talk to the victim because he is still being treated medically. >> reporter: why did you allow two strangers in the car? he is not official car driver but well known for doing that kind of work. police commissioner says that does not mean he deserves any of this. they don't have any good information as you heard on the suspects. they are hoping that this incident was caught on camera and that could help them with this investigation, thomas and alex. scary moments once again, lauren, thank you.

hopefully someone knows something and gets something off the street. >> time is 7:15. we have been looking outside. it is just dreary out there, yes. >> it does seem yellowish. sue, we want an update on our st. patrick's day forecast for the parade. >> are you sure you want it. >> you don't want it. >> you may not want it. we have time between now and then for the forecast to change. also happening before the st. patrick's day parade is the time change. we will go back today light savings time. this time when we spring ahead , turn your clocks ahead one hour, it all happens between 2:00 he clock will be 3:00 o'clock sunday morning and we will all be messed up after that but we are warning you now to make your plans so you are not late on sunday. this morning we are dealing with rain and starting to get more drippy here in philadelphia heavier rain moving from west toe through lancaster county right now. rains coming back. we had some overnight. we will get more this morning and then more of the heavier

this time they brought it already made. >> reporter: buffet is still opened and we called for comments but representatives with the restaurant told us that they didn't have a statement. we have attorney jennifer brandt here to give us her take. we want to say it is still open. is that surprising to you. >> it is, surprising to me because with the serious incident like this children hospitalized in intensive care you would think restaurant would be closed down until authorities can figure out what has been and why their juice was, why some chemical was in their juice and maybe not others. exactly the circumstances of the poisoning. >> i know this is still developing. i would imagine, this from the health department coming through, get an initial inspection. >> i understand that the department of agriculture is investigating as well as local police to see what happened, you know, what happened, interviewing people, inspecting the restaurant. this restaurant had a clear inspection, recently, but in prior instances they have had

some citations. in for this type of an incident but just restaurant do get inspected and they are cited for safety violation is i want to talk about something you mentioned earlier. you said some people affect, others won't. how do you think this will play on things moving forward depending on what the family want to do. but just the kid, drink apple juice. we can assume other people had apple juice in the restaurant. >> exactly. what is so strange about this incident is why was this particular family affected and not others? was the owner of the restaurant said this apple juice came from a local grocery store? was it a particular container that was just used with this family or was this container of apple juice in others and they didn't become sick. that is what authorities will be looking into, interviewing people, probably going back to the grocery store and seeing where that april em juice came from, if it was tampered with in anyway prior to even getting to the restaurant. >> but they go in the restaurant does that mean they

have to go to the grocery store who would you look to to say why did you do this. >> i think would you start with the restaurant because that is where incident occurred and they would want to know everyone who touched that apple juice, the wait staff, some brandon brought apple juice, why was this served in a different manner. this family, they are regular customers, at this restaurant so they said previously the apple juice came in individual cans and this time it was just poured. why did that happen. start with the restaurant and defend back from there if you didn't find what you were looking for at that particular incident. >> no big surprise here there are rumblings of a possible lawsuit who would bear the blame. >> we will start with the restaurant and see what happened there and if the restaurant says look, whether or not there was something at grocery store if they can prove someone tampered with the bottle at grocery store, maybe it was opened, it would go back on a chain, maybe back to the manufacturer of the

apple juice depending on where the tampering occurred if it was that. >> more to come on this one. >> absolutely with children being this sick you can imagine there will be more to come and probably a lawsuit along the way. >> our thoughts are with the family too because two of the children are still in the hospital, in serious but stable condition and we hope they get help soon. thanks for being with us. let negotiations begin. >> nfl free agency begins today, sort of, so, who the eagles will start and how recent jordan matthews rumors will impact, the play, straight ahead. ♪

you go through this experience you still had physical pain. >> for me, when i had noah, he is two years old now. when i had him, i always felt like i didn't want anybody around. i want very over protective of him. i didn't want, people would call can i come see a baby, i made up a reason, today is not a good day. i had read about, read books and all that stuff while pregnant. i knew that if i had postpartum it would be something after the whole baby thing went away. i knew would i cry because i was coming off my hormones trying to level that out but it just didn't really like get away. so, christie teigen she wrote about just lashing out and stuff that was me. i was very snappy. very mean. i always said i would beg my forgiveness all the time because i was so mean to her and my husband. everything that they said and asked i would just snap.

then i would cry or i just wanted to be with noah. i didn't want to have to be around everybody. it was funny. i was talking to my husband and i asked him to talk about this. he was saying, you know, i thought powe partum was you wanted to harm noah. so i was looking for those signs. but i totally see the other part of it. i didn't see the fact that you know, you being over protective of him and not wanting people to come over, you snapping on me all the time. you being very bitter and angry with your mom and stuff like that. i never knew that is what it was. so, you know... >> it just shows us there is many forms of it. >> that is right, women can have different presentations. and if you are not feeling like yourself, in that way yeah, it is just feeling like you will harm your child, over protectiveness, anxiety are symptoms that go along with

depression. >> even christie teigen said i could not figure out why i was so unhappy. i blamed being tired or growing out of the role. i thought maybe i'm not supposed to be a mom. what do you do? if you have a loved one and they just had a child, like to ri was saying her husband was looking for specific things. people think of it in that way how do you know something is up here, we might need to do something about that. >> that is when you go to your doctor, some women get to their obstetrician, there is a six week checkup but at six weeks, everyone is concentrated on the baby and the pediatrician and i think pediatricians are starting to think a little bit more about the mom. >> yes, they are. >> that is great or your primary care doctor or, you know if you are brave enough to go to the psychiatrist but it can be very difficult to get the mental health care. would i start by going to your doctor. >> what is your advice for

women, sitting at home, maybe had a baby, you are feeling baby blues, i don't know what i'm feeling what do you tell that woman right now. >> first of all, if they just had a baby, you know, two to five days ago it could be baby blues and it may pass but ask your partner, ask somebody, you know, who knows you well whether you know, it seems like you are not yourself. for the pennsylvania two weeks of course, people are sleep deprived and all that. but fit is more than that, you are very snappy and you are not usually a snappy person and then go see your doctor. >> is what your advice to that woman. >> i think same thing, definitely reach out to your village, to your family, tour husband or significant other, your mom, for me, after about a year things calmed down and i started to figure out how to deal with the anxiety and everything and just to try breathe, i think also just

being a mom and realizing i had this other person that is way more important and i have to just get over it. so, now i kind of don't take things as seriously as i did and realize it is life and i'm not only mom out there we all go through it and i lean on my village, i lean on my friend, i lean on my own mom now. when you see people look at you and smile... >> thank you for sharing your story. >> that little child is know a we love him, we love when he is on the show. thank you, we appreciate you sharing your experience. thank you for letting us know, christie said she was afraid, this is something so many women deal with so it is important that we do talk. >> really important. >> thank you so much. i want to get to some breaking news sky fox over a car, that ran into a day care, in oxford circle. here's a look right here this
